Meet Information
After a down year in 2015 the 2016 Fike Night Relays are returning under new meet director. Coach Greg Yarbrough is returning along with the local running club to bring back the relays to its old form.
The night relays return to Wilson for the fifth running. A 4x2500M relay under the lights! This relay format promotes a fun team oriented atmosphere. The race will be run on our home course that will be modified specifically for this event. The course is mostly grass around finely manicured soccer fields and is quite spectator friendly. Each runner will run a 2500M loop before handing off a "baton" to their teammate. Each school may enter a men's and women's "A", "B" and "C" teams ("A" team should be your top four runners. "B" should be your 5-8 runners, "C" should be your 9-12 runners). Any additional runners on your team can compete in the open 2500M Developmental races. Coaches and parents are invited to participate in the 2500M Community Race that will kick off the festivities! Come early and join the fun!! Both genders 4x2500M relays will be held under the lights. The field will be capped at 40 teams! The first 40 teams to submit payment will be guaranteed entry into the race. You may submit payment early. Once I receive notice of your interest, I will send you an entry form in early July.
